KHIL (1250 AM, "K-Hill") is a radio station licensed to serve Willcox, Arizona, USA. The station is owned by KZLZ LLC. It airs a Classic Country music format.[1]

The station was assigned the KHIL call letters by the Federal Communications Commission.[2]

The station had applied to relocate to Kearny, Arizona, with a change in frequency to 1260 kHz and a power upgrade 10,000 watts.[3] This application was dismissed by the FCC on April 21, 2008.[4]

[edit] Ownership

In April 2002, Lakeshore Media LLC completed its purchase of KHIL-AM and KWCX-FM from Cathy Ann Enterprises LLC.[5] The sale price was reported to be $1.1 million.[6]

In March 2003, Clear Channel Communications reached a deal to acquire KHIL and KWCX-FM from Lakeshore Media LLC for $2.5 million, but that deal was contingent on the relocation of KWCX-FM to the Tucson area.[6] The FCC denied the move and the deal fell through.

In July 2007, KZLZ LLC reached an agreement to acquire KHIL and KWCX-FM from Lakeshore Media LLC for a reported sale price of $900,000.[7]
